The only problem I have with this is at the moment the AI just tries to kill you at 5 or 7 minutes with 3 attacks, then is hopless as they either build and army while teching and so have no economy, or expand and build an army but have no tech, so basically any 2 base play will beat the AI up until insane, n thats only because it literally cheats and has an income boost. unless the AI is vastly improved this will prepare you for bronze league... and the 50 odd losses before you even play someone remotely close to your skill level

You're talking about the current player vs AI? I think this is supposed to be something entirely different.

No matter the case, the best way to improve will always be getting stomped and learning from losses. There's no way Blizzard can program an AI that keeps up with modern builds.
